The 12 Craziest Game Of Thrones Fan Theories Yet.

Perhaps no other show has spawned so many fan theories as Game of Thrones. With a rich history mired in intrigue and secrets, it’s no wonder that the show has captivated the imaginations of viewers eager to connect the dots to form new revelations. However, for every thoughtful and carefully researched theory like R+L=J, there are dozens more that are just plain nuts. Check out some of the craziest Game of Thrones fan theories yet:

1. It’s not R+L=J; it’s E+L=J.

The most popular fan theory in Game of Thrones, Rhaegar + Lyanna = Jon, has finally been confirmed last season – or so we believe, says this jarring new twist. We all saw how much Eddard loved his sister Lyanna, doing everything he can to rescue her and then later raising her son as his own, but some interpret it as much more than brotherly love. Yes, they’re arguing that Jon is actually the product of incest, as apparently it’s not just a thing with Targaryens and Lannisters.

2. Robert Baratheon and Eddard Stark were in love.

“Shipping” in fandoms isn’t new anymore, and there’s countless of these unlikely pairings being told about in fan fiction and art. One such is that foster brothers Robert and Ned actually developed feelings for each other growing up in The Vale.
